Heh, I love Karnors stories, here's one:

Skeleton tower, full group, 2 bards...Troll Shadownight MT/puller.

Half hour into the pickup group (everything is going great mind you) the
troll shout for me to come over and fight the mob they are working on
(insinuating that I am being useless), I say, "I am..." (I'm holding the
Tambourine and twisting the 3 chant DOT's while punching because the other
bard is buffing) and he says, "but you're not doing any damage!", to which I
respond, "hehe, sure I am, I'm doing 300 damage every 3 ticks :-)" -silence-

He must have had at least the tiniest bit of curiosity regarding why the
sissy bard with the tambourine kept aggroing the mobs and taunting them off
him half way through nearly every battle by punching for 11 damage with his
mighty green fists.

Sometimes I get pissed but mostly I just try to laugh it off and keep
moving, you never expect to have to educate people in their 50's but it
happens a lot, even to me occasionally ;-)

I feel your pain... When I get very frustrated at players like that I often
say "I don't tell you how to play you're your character, please don't tell
me how to play mine. What I find so frustrating; with very few exceptions I
never see people telling any other classes how to play their character
except bards.

hehe, thats nothing, this morning in karnors we were at moat. We had a
chanter, cleric, wizard, paladin and yes... 2 bards. At least 4 times the
damn paladin kept telling us to just sing mana during fights. Me and the
other bard were practically crying at the ignorance. Other bard was doing
lev 50 haste, nivs and clarity, and i was before he starting crying, doing
chant of battle, hymn of restoration and clarity... and yet kept hearing
play mana play mana. Maybe if he let the full mana cleric/chanter stun
instead of him chain stunning we wouldnt of had that issue now would we.
